| 92% | The Flash: Season 5 - All Doll'd Up (TV Episode) |
The story of Rag Doll...made for a visually distinct case of the week on its own, but most importantly served as a parallel for what Iris has been going through ever since her future daughter Nora burst onto the scene.‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 4 - Wet Hot American Bummer (TV Episode) |
The gimmick this week is summer camp, and though this show always has a bit of fun with its time periods, sending the entire crew to camp as a group of counselors made for a fun set-up. ‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | Arrow: Season 7 - The Demon (TV Episode) |
Having Laurel, Felicity and Dinah team up this episode was a great use of the extended cast, and it's exactly what they've needed to humanize Earth-2 Laurel along the way. ‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 4 - Dancing Queen (TV Episode) |
Taking a punk rocking Brit like Constantine back to London in 1977 could've gone a lot of ways, but Legends of Tomorrow took the story in quite possibly the most brutal and surprising direction possible. And it was pretty great.‐ Syfy Wire

| 92% | Arrow: Season 7 - Level Two (TV Episode) |
The episode unpacks a lot about this future, and it becomes clear very quickly that Star City has absolutely fallen apart.‐ Syfy Wire

| 80% | Arrow: Season 4 - Taken (TV Episode) |
For an episode seemingly built around the live-action introduction of Vixen (which rocked, by the way), "Taken" pulled no punches in regard to the major story arcs of the season.‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | The Flash: Season 5 - News Flash (TV Episode) |
Ever since showing up in 2018, Nora has made no secret about her problems with her mother -- and now we finally know why she resents Iris so much. Turns out, she has a decent reason for all those cold shoulders.‐ Syfy Wire

| 86% | DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 4 - Witch Hunt (TV Episode) |
Behind all the trope-twisting and gags, "Witch Hunt" managed to slyly slip in some real emotion. Something this show is getting better and better at by the year.‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | Arrow: Season 7 - Crossing Lines (TV Episode) |
It might be with Argus instead of Team Arrow, but it's always good to see Curtis get a chance to flaunt his super-geeky creations. ‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 4 - The Virgin Gary (TV Episode) |
It's been a long and hot summer, but don't worry, Legends of Tomorrow is still just as silly and self-referential as you remember. ‐ Syfy Wire

| 86% | The Flash: Season 5 - The Death of Vibe (TV Episode) |
We're still in the early days of the season, but no time has been wasted setting up the impending threat of new big bad Cicada -- and he's even inspired the team to bring in a shiny new Wells to join the team.‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | Arrow: Season 7 - The Longbow Hunters (TV Episode) |
Star City has a few new big bads, and they made their presence known in a big way this week -- and it all happened as the remnants of Team Arrow are arguably as fractured as ever.‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | The Flash: Season 5 - Blocked (TV Episode) |
The Flash wasted no time introducing it's new big bad, after a fleeting tease at the end of the season premiere. The team is now fully aware of Cicada -- and he certainly looks like a formidable new villain. ‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | Arrow: Season 7 - Inmate 4587 (TV Episode) |
It is giving the rest of the cast a chance to stake out some of the A-story focus, so hopefully they can continue to find a good balance between those elements moving forward.‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | The Flash: Season 5 - Nora (TV Episode) |
Telling this type of story is a bold move for a show that has occasionally fallen into the ruts of superhero storytelling, and telling it right in the heart of Barry and Iris' recent marriage is all the more exciting. ‐ Syfy Wire

| 54% | Marvel's Iron Fist: Season 2 (TV, 2018) |
It doesn't blow the MCU status quo out of the water, but the action here is capable and entertaining - and they keep the set pieces loose and fun in a way that feels like a good fit for this character and world.‐ Syfy Wire

| 78% | DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 3 - Aruba-Con (TV Episode) |
More than pretty much any series on television, Legends of Tomorrow continues to reinvent itself with each passing year - and Season 3 turns the lovable, time-traveling misfits into the ultimate long-shot heroes who still happen to save the day.‐ Syfy Wire

| 93% | Supergirl: Season 3 - Crisis on Earth-X, Part 1 (TV Episode) |
It makes for some amazing fights, sure, but it's also one of the best "What If?" stories they've pulled off in the Arrowverse. ‐ Syfy Wire

H.R. has been annoying at times, though he's had his moments along the way. But this episode was his greatest.‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | The Flash: Season 3 - Infantino Street (TV Episode) |
Wentworth Miller is a pretty busy dude. But bringing him back and teaming him up with the Flash for a heist was pretty much the best thing that's happened on this show in a while.‐ Syfy Wire

When you decide to let your time traveling hero start mucking around in the future to fix his problems, you open yourself up to a whole host of problems. And that's pretty much what happened here.‐ Syfy Wire

Having your hero face challenges, and deal with consequences, is one thing. But Barry Allen is practically the villain of this season. The pendulum needs to swing back, pronto.‐ Syfy Wire

Tom Cavanagh is awesome, and even when he's playing the mildly annoying H.R. (a version of Wells from Earth-19), he's still pretty great.‐ Syfy Wire

| 92% | Supergirl: Season 2 - Resist (TV Episode) |
Look, this was one of the best episodes of Supergirl this year. Thanks in large part to Flockhart's appearance. She tied this cast together in a way that has been sorely lacking, and it was pretty great.‐ Syfy Wire

| 75% | Supergirl: Season 2 - City of Lost Children (TV Episode) |
This was not the strongest episode of Supergirl. It basically served as a character study for James Olsen, but came off as half-baked wheel-spinning ‐ Syfy Wire

It was a fun enough story once it got rolling, but the setup that an old middle school classmate manages to outsmart Supergirl and the DEO is bordering on silly, right?‐ Syfy Wire

Say what you will about Kevin Smith, but the guy absolutely gets how this show should work. This season of Supergirl has been wildly uneven, but this episode was arguably one of the best of the year.‐ Syfy Wire
